Hi,
if you look here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/apx_2500.html and click "Specifications",
you will see it even does fragment shaders!
Sadly ( or fortunately ) I could not find any confirmation on 750MHz clock.
That is very high number, wonder how much time it can work before need to recharge battery.
Thanks,
Petr
Wow that is a very high clock speed Petr, good find. Maybe it only clicks in when running 3d apps.
I am getting very excited about being free from the desk with truly portable devices, smaller than current notebooks.
The current ones the battery life is not long enough and they are too big and get hot.
I think the coming generation of 4 to 5 hour units that run cool are going to be so neat.
I just read that everex is going to come out with a cloudbook for developers by Summer, so now I am thinking of waiting till then.
But the cloudbook coming out maybe the end of this week is so tempting to start learning on.
Also you guys in Europe are lucky, the HTC Shift is out or out very soon in Europe. I would love to see that baby in person.
Hope you guys have a chance to play with it and can report on it. I did see an awesome review at gottabemobile.com
and was so excited by it. Sounds like a dream come true except for the price :)

All I know is thinBasic has spoiled me. I try to learn other languages so I can program on many platforms and soon these cool devices, but these languages although very capable all feel flat and are nowhere as fun as using thinBasic.
